Perhaps not all of us remember what we were doing on June 27, 1994; many, maybe, were not even born yet. But that day, we know what occupied all the front pages of the tabloids, British and otherwise.

The night before, Lady Diana had gone to a garden party at the Serpentine Gallery in London on the same day that Prince Charles had admitted to her being unfaithful.

If the clothes could talk, it is a common opinion that this would scream "revenge." We are talking about the black silk mini dress, signed by the Greek designer Christina Stambolian, which Diana Spencer chose to wear on an evening in late June 1994.

The Princess showed up alone at the traditional garden party at the Serpentine Gallery in London. She left everyone speechless with the most daring dress ever worn until that moment, paired with a pearl necklace and a pair of black pumps.

In 1996, Diana, Princess of Wales, officially opened the Victor Chang Cardiac Research Institute's temporary premises in Darlinghurst. She attended the Royal Ball as the guest of honor, where she wore an iconic mono strap sky-blue Versace dress.

The Princess literally sparkled at a performance of Swan Lake in London. Jacques Azagury designed the glittering shift, and Garrard created her pearl and diamond necklace. The jeweler also made matching earrings but didn't finish the set in time.
